Broxbourne Borough's famous FA Youth Cup run

Boro's first team are rooted to the bottom of the Spartan League Premier Division Table and striker Jack Hockney, who also attends Goffs School, revealed the side did not think they would even be able to enter the competition at the start of the season.

"Our first team are doing really badly at the bottom of the league," explained the 18-year-old.

"The U18s are keeping the club going because we were so close to folding at the start of the season when our first team manager left.

"We were not even meant to enter the Youth Cup because our first team was in jeopardy, so to get this far knowing we nearly did not enter it is unbelievable.

"We have wanted a massive away day, we have got Aston Villa and that's what the FA Youth Cup is all about."

When asked if their achievements had sunk in yet, Quarrington-Carter, whose younger brother Ben is also in the squad, summed it all up nicely. "It's difficult because everything has happened so quickly," he added.

"I don't think we will realise what we've done until later on in our life, when we look back and we think about how much of an achievement this has been."
